also it does not stick any landing because even with Trespasser, as you said, it’s a huge fucking cliffhanger for a game that might not even materialize in any meaningful way. I have beaten the game 3 times as well and I love it, warts and all. I would only suggest it as a first to someone if the gameplay of Origins…

Lmfao. Just because Reagan's presidency didn't negatively effect you doesn't change the fact that he's probably the worst, most disgraceful president we've ever had

This wasn’t a review, and the shit that Reagan did during his administration was abominable, and that’s just how he dealt with the AIDS crisis alone. Beyond that, his bass-ackwards economic polices, proven not to work and since been deemed a failure by the fucking architect of the policy are still somehow considered…

Also, more importantly, it appears the current situation has really spiked the demand for gaming. Whether it is because people need something to do stuck inside most of the day, or as escapism from the situation in the US, or some combination of both I dont know.

I don’t think any GMG website has ever claimed to be apolitical. Most of the writers are pretty upfront with their political viewpoints. And at the end of the day, almost all of the sites are focused on some aspect of culture, which is fundamentally inseparable from politics, as the two inevitably shape each other.

Deal with it 

omg. Same with me. I was working low paying jobs for years and just sending my resume to literally every place that seemed like it would give a decent salary expecting nothing. For reason still unknown to me I got a great paying job out of that that I definitely was not qualified for when I started compared to my co…

This is a nightmare and Gamestop employees should universally boycott this kind of shit. Obviously Gamestop is one of the worst offenders, but boy is the retail world a hellscape.

This passion may help us. There is very little excitement for Biden even among Democratic supporters. This is a better vision for the future, imho -- and may help encourage people to their ballots. 

The democratic engine in NY has been VERY active about trying to undermine her. Incredibly and overtly so, tbh.

“It’s not just that we can be better, it’s that we have to be better. We’re not good enough right now.”

Difference in reception to what, if I may ask? The Biden Animal Crossing thing? This is more natural/effective an engagement stream, naturally/tailored to a demo that she’s a part of. There’s lots of info out there, but opt-in actions are hard to engage and nobody quite knows what works, but 400K+ for a few hours is a…

Actually, when I watched, they were able to pivot between games to talk about healthcare, contrasting the non-American streamers’ experiences from Canada and the UK vs the ours. So an audience of 350K+ at the time got more exposure to it as a day-to-day comparison.

Some might call me an asshole for this but, there is no line to draw. As a dev, you make the game you want to make, it’s not on you to account for the whims or irrational fears of any one player. The amount of people who might suffer from something like Arachnophobia to such a degree that they can’t even see a virtual…

As devs, where do we draw the line for this stuff though? Are we supposed to have options to cut out “triggers” for all people who have some sort of phobia?

Love what you’re doing (I do it too) but watch out for the follow up Jezebel and/or Root article:

Oh. Sure, by all means, people should make interesting characters.

Ah yes, the famously anti-Black show The Boondocks.

Cuba is also about 40th in health care quality in the world. The USA, with all its riches and resources, is 39th. Cuba’s population is better-educated and more literate than the US population.
